A beautiful woman (Anita Ekberg) learns she has inherited a family castle. She travel to Italy to take a look at it but finds her grandmother was a witch and her uncle is one of the undead (a vampire). He has every intention of making sure she joins the family...but her boyfriend shows up looking for her.
A real snooze. The plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense (although that's common with Italian horror movies) and the acting is terrible. Ekberg is certainly a beautiful woman but her reactions to things were badly done--VERY! I can't give a very accurate judgment of her performance (she's dubbed along with everybody else) but what I saw was pretty lousy. The rest of the cast is about as good as her. The movie drags on (even in the 80 minute version I saw) with things happening left and right that don't make the slightest bit of sense. Also there's next to no blood or violence (this film is VERY PG rated) and the makeup on the vampires is pretty comical (the fangs are WAY too big). It all ends with a terrible gag ending that had me rolling my eyes.
In defense of this, the print I saw was in full screen with badly faded colors--but even letter-boxed and in bright colors wouldn't change the "story" or terrible acting.
Pop this one on if you have sleep problems--you'll be dead asleep in no time! A 1.
